Driscoll

The landscape around Driscoll is a level, subtropical stretch of the South Texas Coastal Plain, which has shaped both the town’s low-rise form and its farm-and-ranch economy. In Nueces County, the community stands inland from the Gulf of Mexico amid cultivated fields and open grazing country, rather than the denser development closer to the shore. U.S. Route 77 connects Driscoll with Corpus Christi and the wider South Texas road network. The town grew with the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway in the early 20th century and was named for Clara Driscoll, the Corpus Christi philanthropist associated with the preservation of the Alamo.
